Circulating Betatrophin Is Increased in Patients with Overt and Subclinical Hypothyroidism [PDF]
Thyroid hormone (TH) affects many metabolic processes such as promoting oxidation of sugar, fat, and protein in many tissues. Thyroid dysfunction is associated with metabolic disorders. The newly discovered adipocyte- and hepatocyte-derived cytokine, betatrophin, has been reported to be involved in metabolic diseases, but its influence on thyroid ...

Plasma betatrophin levels in patients with liver cirrhosis
To investigate the plasma levels of betatrophin in patients with cirrhosis.Forty patients diagnosed at the clinic with liver cirrhosis according to biological, ultrasonographic, or histological criteria were included. The severity of cirrhosis was classified according to Pugh's modification of Child's classification and MELD score.

Cloning, expression, and spectral analysis of mouse betatrophin
Background: Betatrophin, a novel secretory protein from liver and fatty tissues, is believed to be involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. However, its precise physiological role remains unclear. Here, we report the cloning, expression, and purification steps of mouse betatrophin in a prokaryotic system, followed by its structural analysis.
